The first of the final wave of teaser poster for Battle: Los Angelescame out today showing the aliens distracting surfers. Can't they catch a wave in peace without an extraterrestrial invasion disrupting their wave time?

The first trailer for Battle: Los Angeles has been released. It's interesting to compare this first look at the marketing for this film with the marketing done for Skyline, the alien invasion film being released today in theaters. While both films deal with the same subject matter and even take place in the same city, the Battle: Los Angeles trailer shows an expanded theater of war than the Skyline trailers did.

Columbia Pictures has chosen this week and the start of Comic-Con to begin promoting Battle: Los Angeles. A series of five banners hang along the walkway to the San Diego Convention Center that incorporate real life, famous UFO sightings as a lead-up to the film's events. UGO has photos of all five banners that give a location, date and show a photo from the UFO sighting, with the fifth and final banner showing a close-up of a marine's face and the text "Los Angeles, 2011".

On the bottom of each banner is the URL ReportThreats.org. That appears to be the Battle: Los Angeles website, and on it you can learn about those four legendary UFO sightings as well as about W.A.T.C.H., the Worldwide Assessment of Threats Concerning Humankind.

A spy photo of Aaron Eckhart decked out in his marine commander fatigues is making the rounds on the 'net. The image of the actor was taken last week by Jonathan Hoffon and posted on his Flickr page. The production is filming scenes at Camp Pendleton.

Scott Silver has been brought in to give the Battle: Los Angeles screenplay a rewrite. A seasoned Hollywood scribe with credits that include 8 Mile and The Mod Squad (which he also directed), he recently sold a pitch to Warner Bros. for a science fiction movie called Samson. Aaron Eckhart remains attached to star in the film and Jonathan Liebesman to direct.

Enjoying a healthy uptick in visibility after starring in The Dark Knight, Aaron Eckhart is now attached to headline Battle: Los Angeles. The Hollywood Reporter mentions that Eckhart is eyed to play the leader of the Marine platoon that is fighting extraterrestrial invaders in the streets of the city of angels.

Director Jonathan Liebesman is close to getting the job to direct Battle: Los Angeles for Columbia Pictures. The Darkness Falls director impressed the Columbia execs by going on location in Santa Monica and filming action scenes of humans fighting CGI aliens in the streets. Liebesman also put together a complex pre-visualization sequence showing some of the invasion force storming the city. Those efforts were impressive enough to make him the number one choice over other unnamed competitors.

Battle: Los Angeles was written by Chris Bertolini and picked up by producer Neal Moritz (the Fast and Furious franchise) last April. The script centers on a Marine detachment that is doing its part in trying to fight off an invading alien force.

Latino Review has published a review of Chris Bertolini's Battle: Los Angeles screenplay and gives us more detail about the movie's premise. Some strange pod-like things splash down in the water off the coast of the city of angels and before you can say War of the Worlds, weird and very hostile aliens are running around the streets, killing Angelinos left and right. A military team, led by a Sgt. Nantz, is ordered to fight the attackers any way they can even though their weapons and vehicles are inferior to the extraterrestrials. The soldiers eventually team up with a group of civilians hiding in a community center. One of the civvies is a kid that on first impression seems to have autism but in fact may be connected to the invasion in some strange way.

Unfortunately the sum doesn't seem to be greater than the parts of the script, at least according to the site's reviewer. "The whole time, I felt like I was reading the script to a mediocre arcade game," writes the anonymous critic. "On top of the lack of anything really unique or interesting about the story, the characters are all flat, save for a few that come across as just cliché, and the dialogue also reads like it was lifted from a video game. The plot breaks down into such a clunky and simple structure that it resembles something a student fresh out of formulaic writing 101 might show off."
